What is the basis of palm reading?

Is there any scientific basis for palm reading?

Strictly speaking, palm reading should have no scientific basis. You see, no "master" can stand up and explain what is the scientific basis for their palm reading. Of course, it does not rule out that people should keep secrets. After all, they also make a living from it.

In fact, you can judge whether a person's body has a disease by palm prints, but if you can fully explain a person's ups and downs from palm prints, I think it is not very reliable. For example, the line between thumb and palm is called lifeline. As the saying goes, the longer the lifeline, the longer the life expectancy. But is this really the case?

That's not necessarily true. There should be quite a few people, although the lifeline of the palm is very long, but they can't live as long as the lifeline. So why is there the view that "the longer the lifeline, the longer the life span of people"?

My guess is that the ancients didn't have such powerful scientific and technological means to explain why a person can live long. But through their own observation, they found that most people who live long have one thing in common: the lifeline is very long. Over time, people have formed such an idea.

Of course, the so-called lifeline should only be a very basic point of palm reading. I'm not an insider, and I don't know some deeper views.

But even in the modern society with advanced science and technology, there are many mysterious phenomena that science cannot explain. Palm reading can be handed down from ancient times to the present, but it has not been abandoned by the times. I know he has a point.
